PCRT Email Setup

[devham]

Not sure if this is the right area but I figured I would post here for some advice.

I know a lot of people recommend PCRT and I have been happy using it for a while now. With version 3.3 I've decided to upgrade and upgrade to a new server as well. I am also trying to get email to work for invoices/repair tickets.

I currently have a test install on a self hosted server. The server is Ubuntu 16.04 with PHP 7. The issue that I am running in to is the emailing. I can send mail with the built in PHP mail fucntion but can't using PEAR mail. It says that the server doesn't support PEAR Mail or it might not be installed.

Has anyone installed PEAR and the mail/mail_mime packages on a server they host? I have never used PEAR before so am a little lost, even after reading the documentation at pear.php.net.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dev,

I had similar problems last week, i got it working after adding PEAR module under Pearl Modules.
I dont host it in house, i use Cpanel to manage.

Check the dep entries

$pcrt_mailer = "pearphpmailer";
# SMTP Server Hostname. Default: localhost Prefix with ssl:// to send securely if your server supports it
$pcrt_pear_host = "smtpserveraddress.com";
# SMTP Port: (25,587,465)
$pcrt_pear_port = "587";
# SMTP Username
$pcrt_pear_username = "support@youremailc.om";
# SMTP Password
$pcrt_pear_password = "password";
